It is quite a strenuous process to get certified for medical marijuana. In this state, the doctors are very identifiable about the reasons they will prescribe medical marijuana. I practically had to jump through hoops to get the doctor to say yes. There were other states that would have automatically qualified me for medical marijuana, however this place is in the Bible Belt plus they are holding onto their backwards laws as tightly as they can. I had to spend a fortune with the doctor before the guy would certify me for medical marijuana. Then I had to wait 3 weeks before the certification plus card arrived in the mail. These many items were necessary to have in order to be able to shop at the medical marijuana dispensary. I was so excited plus ecstatic when our card arrived, until I realized that our name was misspelled. I did not think it was going to be a pressing deal until the lady at the desk would not let me into the dispensary. She claimed that the medical marijuana card could have been a fake or a fraud. I had all of the necessary paperwork linked to the card, however the lady still would not budge on her ruling. I got honestly aggravated plus started cursing plus swearing. The security guard stepped over to the counter where I was standing. I knew that I better leave before I got banned from the dispensary for life. I had to leave the building plus call the state certification office to handle the problem.
